The US national ambient-air monitoring network, created to verify compliance with health-based standards, now doubles as an important source of exposure data for the epidemiological analyses on which these standards increasingly rest, particularly in the case of ozone and PM(2.5). This paper was written for a workshop called to facilitate and inform the use of routine ozone and PM(2.5) data by the Environmental Public Health Tracking Network. It examines the fit between priorities that shape regulatory monitoring and modeling and the data needs of public health tracking.

BACKGROUND Exposure to air pollution (AP) during pregnancy is associated with pre-labor rupture of membranes (PROM). However, there is limited research on this topic, and the sensitive exposure windows remain unclear. The present study assessed the association between AP exposure and the risk of PROM, as well as seeking to identify the sensitive time windows.

Air quality changes during the coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) pandemic in China has attracted increasing attention. However, more details in the changes, future air quality trends, and related death benefits on a national scale are still unclear. In this study, a total of 352 Chinese cities were included.

China's lockdown to control COVID-19 brought significant declines in air pollutant emissions, but haze was still a serious problem in North China Plain (NCP) during late-January to mid-February of 2020. We seek the potential causes for the poor air quality in NCP combining satellite data, ground measurements and model analyses. Efforts to constrain COVID-19 result in a drop-off of primary gaseous pollutants, e.

Article Synopsis
- Santiago de Chile experiences significant air pollution during winter, with particulate matter levels often exceeding WHO standards, impacting the health of its population, particularly children.
- The study analyzed data from over 72,000 hospitalizations for respiratory diseases among children under 15, focusing on the effects of particulate matter while accounting for the presence of respiratory syncytial virus (RSV).
- Results indicated that higher levels of PM2.5 were associated with increased hospitalizations for respiratory issues, highlighting that even short-term exposure can have serious health consequences for children.
